<\/span>Welcome<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome! I\u2019m very excited to be teaching Physical Computing again this year. It\u2019s material I love<\/a> and use a lot<\/a>. I created and teach two other courses in the Physical Computing Area: Energy<\/a> and Time<\/a>. I\u2019m curious about every aspect of how things are made \u2013 how materials can be shaped into useful and beautiful forms, how sensors can perceive the world, how code can be crafted to run on processors and affect the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently there\u2019s been an explosion in tools available to beginners for embedding computation into just about any project imaginable. It can be a bit overwhelming \u2013 electronics! programming! so many boards to choose from! \u2013 but this course lays a foundation for you to build amazing things now and continue developing creative and technical skills over a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Contact<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is my NYU office hours calendar<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to sign in with your NYU login to see it. I will schedule regular office hour appointment slots which you can book automatically once the semester starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My email: jeff@fddrsn.net, jeff.feddersen@nyu.edu (or jf543@nyu.edu)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of office hours, email me and we can discuss issues and find a time to connect if necessary. For Fall 2024, I will be at ITP Mondays and Tuesdays most of the day, teaching in the evening\/afternoon. I will have a desk space in the North area, and I’m happy to talk when I’m at ITP. I’m also glad to find times to connect over video outside those days or scheduled office hours. That said, I don\u2019t work full time at NYU, and try to keep \u201cnormal\u201d business hours balanced with other work and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more support, the residents and other professors keep office hours as well, here<\/a>; and watch for the weekly resident pcomp support sessions starting Monday 9\/9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Class Blogs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will document your work in this class online, typically through a blog, Notion, or similar. Please add a link to your documentation site<\/strong> to our shared class spreadsheet<\/a> before Class 2. Note – set up a category\/menu for this class and submit the link for that category, not to your whole blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
